Potential exists in the depletion layer because of:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C ions
Explanation for Correct answer:
C. ions
- The junction between the p-type and n-type materials responds differently from each side of the material alone when they are kept in contact with one another.
- At the junction, electrons, and holes are in close proximity to one another. Coulomb's law states that a force exists between the positive holes and the negative electrons.
- A few n-type electrons diffuse through the p-n junction during its formation, combining with the holes on the p-side to generate negative ions while leaving behind positive ions on the n-side.
- As a result, the depletion layer is created, acting as a barrier to prevent additional electron transport from the n area to the p region.
Final answer: Hence the correct answer is option C, ions.
